Trump Threatens To Raise Tariffs If No Trade Deal Reached With China

The United States will impose higher tariffs on Chinese goods and services if both countries fail to reach a trade agreement, US President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday
"If we don't make a deal with China, I'll just raise the tariffs even higher," Trump said during a cabinet meeting at the White House.
Trump added that "China is going to have to make a deal that I like. If they don't, that's it."
On October 13, Trump announced he had agreed in principle to the "Phase One" trade deal with China after high-level negotiations in Washington.
The Phase One deal is expected to cover key trade issues that have been subject of disagreement, including intellectual property, financial services and US agricultural exports.
Trump said earlier that China had also agreed to purchase $40 to $50 billion of US agricultural goods under the trade deal.
China's Vice Premier Liu He said the negotiations must be conducted on the basis of equal and mutual respect to address the two countries' core concerns.
The trade row between the world's two largest economies erupted in June 2018 when the United States imposed the first round of tariffs on Chinese imports, prompting Beijing to respond in kind. Since then, the two countries have been engaged in a full-blown trade war.
